tent is a time of spiritual ra- Imral. The changing face of nature has here its spiritual counterpart. The Lenten emphasis upon re- pentance implies the need for change, ii. change or outlook. and where it is needed a new direc.ion In the Christian's way of life.

It is difficult. in the very centre ofthe process, to realize how pro- foundly at the present time the pattern of life in changing. To read books which describe the life of the Victorian age, to go no far- ther back, is to be transponed to another world, to an almost en- mode of existence.

And the change is bound to ef- fect the corporate life and even the message of the Church. The Gospel, indeed, is in its essence un-

preted afresh to succeeding gener- ations in larguage which speaks directly to man's condition. and

which he finds intelligible: though this is not to suggest that -the, church must always be “By doc- trines fashlon‘d to the varying hour," nor to imply that any vlol-' ence should be done to its noblest traditions.

such a task does involve the, criticism and the revaluation of‘ time—honou:red tradition. and where necessary. the creating of new forms through which the eternal Spirit can more perfectly be ex- pressed. It makes demands which in every age have severely tesiedthel adaptability of the Church and its! capacity and willingness to re-state‘: its message in accustomed modes of thought. In one of last Sunday‘s, liturgical lessons our Lord emphas-I izes this need for outward change‘ in the sdying that new wine must be put into new wine-skins. ,

If it is true. as the Lambeth En-, cyclical affirmed, that “for those who have eyes to see there are signs that the tide of faith is beginning to come in,” one of the tphui-ch's; main tasks must be to dlscoveri how this nascent change in the‘ spiritual climate can be so inf'iuen-- cad fihat men may be led to find‘ the fulfilment of their conscious need in the corporate life of the Church.

But this may involve the adopt- ion of new forms of christian ser-

votional expression; the creating II well as the upholding of trud- ition. The change which belongs to growth fs'neitbe:r revolutionary nor reactionary.

Ilbr the individual christian. too. the season of Lent should mark a renewal of the spiritual life; ‘and if this renewal is to be more ilian a. transient phase. new forms. new channels. through which the life of the spirit can find expression, may prove to be necessary. ‘

Indeed his work today was so insistent he declared it “was nothing short of bewildering!" The younger farmer was abscn-i in the city with Rob attending to a matter of shipping, taking thither a "passel" of hogs that ac- cording to Jock did very well by his feeding. At only a few days past the five months’ mark, these had reached the required weight. In our opinion it would be an un- grateful animal indeed that would not try his best to grow and thrive well. beneath the care of such a faithful attendant! And 50. James was busy today. Already the herds have been added to by the arrival —- and purchase of calves, and as well. Spring litters aremak- lrig' their appearance in the pig- genes.

Various litters have also ar- rived here, wherc these occur- rences are taken more casually than at Alderlea, with of course varying results. and it seems that when every last one of a litter survives, some good fairy must be whispering encouragingly in small cars. so busy Rob is. alone with his farming. At present the pride

have been born to his flock of four ewa in recent days. Singly and in pairs to total six small ones. As James had hoped. and a matter of pride to us, on pc- casion Jamie carries supplement- ary feediings to a pair of these. “They're doing well," he report- ed this morning. “and they like

the cows’ ‘milk too!" “How can you tell?” we queried curious about his reply. “Ha? Jamie

laughed, "don’t you know? Did you never watch a lamb getting fed?" And the younger lad, who acquires an education about the barns that may not be discounted. nodded gravely and observed. “they wiggle their fails when they like their dinn-J.-sl” For sunny Spring days, lambkins come -— to run and play in the new green of the meadows. or wearying as children will, re- turn to lie cosily by their moth- ers‘ aids. or in an attitude of rest which has often amused us as we noted it with the youngsters. snugly atop a patient back. “If those lambs continue to do well,” Rob said at supper this evening. “they should catch the early mar- ket!"

And who last night came knock- ing at our door? Why James of course! As he did this evening to bear granddaughter home and at the same time to see us to the end of an outing as far as the comer-store.

WAS EFFECTIVE TRICK

For a long time women got their way by using hydraulic Pl‘€"\“‘° on men. Whenever they wanted a thing they Just set down and Cried for it until they got it. There seemed to be some Pefllllal‘ qllflml’ in tears that melted down men's backbone; and made them so mushy and soft that women could do with them as they pleased. And so tears became the great feminine grail.

But today tears have becomevtaboo and it is almost as rare to see a woman weep as it is to see a man. Maybe it is because tears dont do make-up any good. Maybe it is because a woman who wept ‘When she lost in a game would be despised as a bad sport. Maybe it is because men have found out that drying a woman‘: tears in the most expensive occupation they can ever engage in. But, however it is. women don't use their fear ducts as much as they u ed to do. Perhaps it is because they have discovered that the modern man wants a girl to be always gay and cheerful and smiling and bright- eyed and has no time for the lachrymose maiden who always has troubles to tell and requires comforting. For men are always fair- weatherctriends to women.

DEAR MISS DIX: I have a very small apartment and my younger sister boards with me, as our parents are dead. We are both busi- ness girls. My sister has an abominable disposition and is very sel- fish, but I feel that I have to keep her with me as she does not make. enough money to board in a good place and because I want to pro- tect her as much as I can. ',“""' ' '

Now I am engaged to a man whom I love very dearly and he ob- jects to the sacrifices I make for my sister and to her monopolizing my little apiariment with her friends so that he and I have to go out in order to be alone together. We quarrel about this and things have reached a stage where it is about to break up our gagement. My sister knows this and does not try to help at all by going out occas- ionally with her dates. What am I to do? Give up my fiance, iomance and future married life with the man I love, or break with my sister and send her out on her own to get along as but she can‘! I am heart-broken over the problem.

ELINOR

ANSWER: It seems to me that your selfish sister is not worth the sacrifice of all your love and happiness. Evidently she thinks of nothing but her own pleasure and can enience, and she takes that at your expense. You are the worthwhile member of the family and the one who deserves happiness’.

Perhaps forcing her to depend on herself would be the making of her. It often is. and l have seen more-than one spoiled girl and boy regenerated by going to live among strangers who literally made them behave themselves and accord others their rights.

Evidently your fiance is jealous of your sister and. like lots of ot r selfish men. he is perfectly willing to sacrifice you to himself, but e object. to your being sacrificed to anyone else. if he really consid- ered you at all, he would understand your sense ct .esponalbillty to your little sister. and that no matter how badly she treats you, you feel that you cannot turn her out to shift for herself in a world that is full of dangers for young girls. I _

And he would know that in a little while she will marry or go off herself, and that the problem will automatically end.

DEAR MISS DIX: When a girl of 25 and a married man of 30 fall hopelessly in love what is the solution? The man hag told me that he cares for me, but we both realize that marriage is impossible. A young man wants to marry me. Shall I marry him had try to for-

This is the way a beloved Is- land poet has described the com- ing of Spring in the Maritimes. so different from the Pacific coast of our country where many lovely early flowers are now blooming; but when Spring really comes to this Island we know that no oth- er place can be half as beautiful! - Growth is so rapid that anything we can do now to relieve the pres- sure of garden work in the next few weeks should be done, giv- ing us more time to really enjoy the lovely Spring days.

The Home Garden, in small monthly magazine published in New York, conducts a contest among its readers on some gar- den cubiect everylmonth. “What my garden means to me" was the subject for last month and I shall give you some excerpts from the winning essays. - . Privacy. retreat, escape, way to health — these are words often used in defining the need forger- dens. but more important are fea- tures that promote men-ial ind spiritual growth.

Beauty, for example. The in- creasing beauty of my garden means my increasing appreciation of beauty, my ability to experi- ence the most exquisite pleasure in the texture of a leaf, the form and color of a flower. the effective- ness of symmetry in a garden de- sign.

Each year I plant a a packet of mixed Shirley Poppy seed. Each year -at least one blossom among the hundreds produced is of such refined beauty that it seems un- real. Nothing earthly could pos- slbly attain that degree of celestial perfection. Yet there it is. to be knelt before. to be worshipped with a certain awe. Can one ex- perience such emotion without gaining a deeper understanding of Creation and the Mysterious forces behind it‘! I think not. And so my garden means-greater aware- nes and ‘ standing of spiritual values.

To the novice, a Kentucky card- inal on a snow-laden hemlock bough is just I winter red-bird in a tree, Constant association with that and other scenes in my garden has developed a pictorial sense that ennblu me to extract the fullest pleasure from every harmonious composition. accidental or planned. in my garden or ex”. WIIOIC. Thus my garden means an ever-present influence toward greater artieill: appreciation.

My llrden means a constant procession of new friends who share with me the some thoughts. delight in the same activities. and seek solutions to the same prob- ‘°m-5- H°W min)’ cherished per- sons would still be unknown to me had I been without a garden?

My garden means happiness, and good health. It means an area dedicated to growth, not merely to the growth of plants, but to my personal growth:'epirl- Willy. mentally, artistically. and. socially. Pity the poison who never to himself hath said "I will go out from here and plant a ‘.1-.

IA!‘ FOODS RAVI 011!!! U!!! BESIDIS GIVING INIIGY It is only natural that over- weight: should out down on fat food: because fat gives more fuel value than either proteins. (meets, eggs and nah) or starches (po toea,'bread and sugar). In fact. the armed forces carry and are fed on more fat foods than in former years because fat gives this increased amount of food yaiue, yet can be packed in I smaller space than these other foods.

In a reducing diet, {at foods are

out down by one-halfnwhile pro- teins are cut down by per cent or not at‘ all. On the other hand, in a body-building diet. in which the individual wishes to his weight and his digestive organs can handle fats readily. fat foods are actually increased. While most of us third: of fat foods as just so much fuel or food to supply the body's needs which in itself is most important. Drs. Pearson and Panaer. in the “Jour- nal of Nutrition.“ have shown that the loss of necessary amino acids in the urine and stools is consid- erably reduced when the fat. corn oil, is given to the patient. in other words. fat foods "spare" the use of these amino acids. which make protein foods so valuable in maintaining the body tissues. The fat foods seem to prevent the special dynamic action of proteins from being used’ or burnlnz too briskly: By prolonging the action of these amino acids. the body 89'! more of the other foods used or burned, hence the value of some fat fond daily not only as a source of energy but as a conserver of val- uable amino acids.

In the “Journal of the Ameri- can Medical Asoclailon." Dr. Carlson, the noted food expert. and his associates, report their ex- perlmen‘ on orphanage children which show that margarine and butter possess growth-promoting powers not usually attributed to fat foods. This means. then. that fat foods are not only energy.preduc- era but possess some special food element that has 9. beneficial Ictlvn in nourishing the body. The fact that the armed forces include fats in their "surviving ration." not only for food value but for other nutritional uses. tel-la its own story. We should, then. try to include some fat in our dfally diet.
